ompi-restart just does a fork/exec of the mpirun, so it should get the param if it is in your environ. How are you setting it? Have you tried adding OMPI_MCA_opal_cr_tmp_dir=<whatever> to your environment?

Another question. Even though I am setting opal_cr_tmp_dir to a directory other than /tmp while calling ompi-restart command, this setting is not getting passed to the mpirun command that gets generated by ompi-restart. How do I overcome this constraint?

> I am setting the MCA parameter “opal_cr_tmp_dir” to a directory other than /tmp while calling “mpirun”, “ompi-restart”, and “ompi-checkpoint” commands so that I don’t fill up /tmp filesystem. But I see that openmpi-sessions* directory is still getting created under /tmp. How do I overcome this problem so that openmpi-sessions* directory also gets created under the same directory I have defined for “opal_cr_tmp_dir”?>> Is there a way to clean up these temporary files after their requirement is over?>> Thanks> Ananda> Please do not print this email unless it is absolutely necessary.>> The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain proprietary, confidential or privileged information.
